This is due to the following reasons:
1. Mechanical advantage of multi-start screw is less than single start screw. Thus effort required to raise a particular load is more in multiple start screw.
2. It is likely that the self-locking property may be lost in a multi-threaded screws.

A jackscrew's threads must support heavy loads, the most heavy-duty applications, such as screw jacks, a square thread or buttress thread is used because it has the lowest friction.
